It is amusing the questions we get given the makeup of the crew on Faith. Chris, in particular, receives raised eyebrows and sometimes specific inquiries from men wanting to know “How does that work?” with two women (emphasis as you would expect). I believe he just smiles and shrugs…preferring to leave them guessing. When Patty gets questions she makes it clear that SHE was signed up for the trip long before Chris came into the equation. As yet, no one has come forward to ask me, but perhaps that is due to the fact that Chris & Patty are both quick to tell others that I am the “captain” and that may slow the blatant inquiries. What is it about three people traveling together that causes others to speculate about their personal interactions? Is it just curiosity or is there just a touch of envy involved here?
So…for those of you who are wondering…we get along great. We are all going for the adventure and, while we have differences of opinion from time to time we are all adults so are able to negotiate when needed. Everyone does their share of the work and we make sure we all have our own personal space when needed. We share watch standing, boat maintenance, galley duties and laundry pretty equally.
Although…the Scrabble games are brutal and Uno is to be avoided at all cost!
